I am trying to get PrintPreview to work using the XTPPrintPreview class in my project.

void CSchedulerFormView::OnToolBarButtonClick(UINT nID)
{
 switch( nID )
 {
  case ID_SCHEDULER_PRINT:
  {
   break;
  }
  case ID_SCHEDULER_REFRESH:
  {
   OnScheduleComboAfterUpdate(0,0);
   break;
  }
  case ID_SCHEDULER_PREVIEW:
  {
   CPrintPreviewState* pState = new CPrintPreviewState;

   if ( !DoPrintPreview( XTP_IDD_PREVIEW_TOOLBAR, this,
    RUNTIME_CLASS( CXTPPreviewView ), pState ))
   {
    // In derived classes, reverse special window handling here for
    // Preview failure case;
    delete pState;
   }
   break;
  }
 }
}

BOOL CSchedulerFormView::OnPreparePrinting(CPrintInfo* pInfo)
{
 // default CEditView preparation
 return DoPreparePrinting(pInfo);
}

void CSchedulerFormView::OnBeginPrinting(CDC* pDC, CPrintInfo* pInfo)
{
 // Default CEditView begin printing.
 CProjectBASEFormView::OnBeginPrinting(pDC, pInfo);
}

void CSchedulerFormView::OnEndPrinting(CDC* pDC, CPrintInfo* pInfo)
{
 // Default CEditView end printing
 CProjectBASEFormView::OnEndPrinting(pDC, pInfo);
}

I have that code and it gets called with no problems, but the print preview window is empty. Which is the same thing that happens in the PrintPreview sample. The only difference is I in the PrintPreview sample you use CEditView (which only shows the first character in preview mode) and I am using a CFormView. On my preview window I get an empty white preview window.

Can someone who has gotten this to work show me what I am doing wrong or let me know if it doesnt work?

Thanks

CFormView hasn't preview output.

You can easy check it: Create simple MFC application with CFormView as view class. Print Preview will show empty window.

Oleg,

Even so, the print preview sample does not work. Try for yourself. Type something in the document and preview it. On any machine I have tried it on I only see the first character

It is bug of MFC 4.2 with manifest used.

try to comment in rc file:

IDR_MANIFEST             24      DISCARDABLE     "res\\manifest.xml"
